Alright, so just to put some pep into the forums, lets start with a preseason ranking. New, shiny-er version.
Big Three
Liverpool Outlaws
We fell behind last season from where I wanted us, but I can really assure you that we'll be a force to be reckoned with in the league this season.
Helsinki Devils
Ah, our nemesis! The Devils have always stood out in my mind as one of the top teams in the league, and I repeatedly expect them to upset bigger teams. They'll be another force in the conference, with possibly the strongest defense I've seen for awhile.
Transylvania Grim Reapers
They were excellent last year, but I think that with the caps opened all the way up, and a year of recruiting going on, not enough has changed about them to keep themselves in the front running. They'll need to make some big moves to really put themselves in a contention spot.
Middle of the Pack
Warsaw Stampede
I remembered that people were worried about this team last year when they came down to play with us. A season passed, and they were little more then a middle-of-the-pack animal that had all the potential, but seemingly lacked a drive. Maybe this season they'll come around; they will make the playoffs, but probably not much more.
Arkadak Arsenal
Coming over from the USA, Arkadak doesn't really know what to expect here in EEA4. It's been pretty cutthroat here, and I honestly don't seeing them being as good as the Nordiques could have been. Ergo, they get bumped down a spot.
Warsaw Gods of War
Always on our 'to beat' list, but never really too much of an issue. They simply need a little love on defense to become truly competitive.
Sioux City Bandits
The owner hypes up his team, and continues to say that it's a solid squad. The reality is, not much has really changed around this unit, and it'll need some big moves to put it anywhere significant in the standings.
Stalingrad Ironmen
Will make it to the playoffs limping. Really, not TOO much better then the Blaze and the Kalashnikovs, but just enough so to make a difference.
Everyone Else
